Wine map of Sofia

Wine map of Sofia - bars and restaurants

Sofia is not in a wine region and vineyards do not grow here. But it has a central place on the Bulgarian wine map. And if anyone is skeptical - how can a city far from the vineyards “talk” about wine tourism, we will tell you: London (at least in the above criteria resembles Sofia) was chosen as one of the ten best wine destinations in the world for 2017 by Wine Enthusiast (along with the Thracian lowland, by the way)!

Officially there are only two main regions (as protected geographical indications) - Thracian Valley and Danube plain. However, according to the specific soil types and climatic conditions, there are at least eight wine-growing regions on the territory of Bulgaria: Northwest Bulgaria, Central Danube Plain, North Black Sea Coast, South Black Sea Coast, Sakar and Eastern Rhodopes, East Thracian Valley, West Thracian Valley and Rose Valley, Struma River Valley.
According to Bulgarian vine and wine agency (2023) the total area is slightly over 60,000 ha but maintained vineyards from which grapes are arvested for wine are less than the half. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot account for about 1/3 of the varietal diversity. Also grown are Rkatsiteli, Pamid, Muscat Ottonel, Red Misket, etc. In total, red wine grape varieties predominate (over 60%). 746 683 hl of wine were produced in 2023.
